Report a Research Deviation or Issue of Non-Compliance

Principal Investigators and project leads must promptly identify, document and report research deviations or potential issues of non-compliance. This includes concerns involving research ethics, operational approvals, privacy or data access, contracts, funding requirements, or the use of Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) resources and systems.

Review the guidance before submitting your report, then use the confidential online reporting form to report a deviation or potential compliance concern involving an SHA-authorized research or research-related project.

Please note that submitting this form does not replace any additional or immediate notification required by the Research Ethics Board, SHA Privacy Office, Operational Approval team, sponsor or funder.

The SHA Research Department's Research Procedure manual applies to all SHA staff, clinicians and team members who are involved with research being conducted within the SHA. The Research Procedure manual contains SHA’s most up-to-date procedures for conducting research including but not limited to obtaining funding, applying for REB approval, Operational Approval, managing funds, research contracts, and more. SHA staff, clinicians and their affiliated research team members must have a thorough understanding of all sections before conducting research within the SHA. Watch the short video below for highlights and download the manual for more information.
